His program, "Benny Goodman to Gordon Goodwin," will feature the NEA Jazz Master and multiple Grammy Award winner Phil Woods, who returns to the Berkshires after two appearances at the Pittsfield CityJazz Festival in 2006 and 2011. Woods is a guest artist on Caputo's CD "Velocity," and their performance (Saturday, July 27, 7:30pm) will include much of the material from that live recording.

Donal Fox Scarlatti Jazz Project at Seiji Ozawa Hal
Back by popular demand, composer, pianist and innovator Donal Fox will perform his Scarlatti Jazz Project at Seiji Ozawa Hall. Donal Fox has forged a unique amalgam of jazz, Latin, and classical music. Combining deep grooves with sophisticated contrapuntal lines, he and his quartet create a striking musical collage that is at once stirring, visceral, imaginative and intellectually satisfying. Fox mines the rich resources of jazz and classical literature, crafting an expanding repertoire of original compositions seamlessly wedded to the undeniable pulse of Afro-Cuban jazz. His inventive blend marches boldly toward new sounds, effortlessly "confounding the genre police." (Downbeat) We love confounding the genre police. It's an event not to be missed.
Harry Connick, Jr. at Tanglewood
And, what can be said about Harry Connick, Jr. that has not already been written? His meteoric rise in the world of music was only a prelude to a multi-faceted career. Accomplished as a pianist, vocalist, composer, band leader, actor, and philanthropist, Harry Connick has received awards and recognition for his live and recorded musical performances, and for his achievements on screens large and small as well as the Broadway stage. Throughout his stellar career, Harry Connick, Jr. has earned three Grammy awards, two Emmy Awards, and two Tony nominations, and spearheaded efforts to help rebuild his hometown of New Orleans after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. This performance with his band will be in support of his new album release EVERY MAN SHOULD KNOW, a collection of original songs that touches on some of Harry's deepest feelings about life and love.

Pittsfield CityJazz Festival headline weekend
Ali Ryerson solos with New England Jazz Ensemble Oct. 13, 2012.
The headline weekend opens on Friday, Oct. 12 with the Jazz Arts Trio, headed by the remarkable concert pianist Frederick Moyer. What can safely be called the only jazz group of its kind, the Jazz Arts Trio, through note–for–note transcriptions of historic moments in piano jazz, is keeping alive music that otherwise would live on only in recordings. Their latest CD, Swing of Many Colors, includes a full re-performance of Ahmad Jamal's landmark album But Not For Me: Live at the Pershing. The Jazz Arts Trio will appear at the Sydelle and Lee Blatt Performing Arts Center on Friday, Oct. 12, and is a co-presentation with Barrington Stage Co.
The New England Jazz Ensemble is a 16-piece big band whose repertoire will include material from the band's latest CD, recorded live in performance in Hartford, Connecticut. They appeared at the first Pittsfield CityJazz Festival in 2006, putting the festival on the map when they issued a recording from that performance.
A renowned jazz/blues vocalist, Giacomo Gates' will be a guest artist with the New England Jazz Ensemble. His CD Luminosity spent over three months in the top 20 of the Jazz Week charts; his latest recording, The Revolution Will Be Jazz, a tribute to Gil Scott-Heron, was the most-played CD on jazz radio for 7 consecutive weeks in 2011. Gates has been nominated as Jazz Vocalist of the Year by the Jazz Journalists Association.
Guest soloist Ali Ryerson has emerged as one of the most exciting and versatile flutists on the scene. She has performed with such diverse talents as Billy Taylor, Kenny Barron, Stephane Grappelli, Frank Wess, and (as principal flutist with the Monterey Bay Symphony) with Luciano Pavarotti. She put alto flute in the spotlight in her years of duet concerts and recordings with guitarist Joe Beck.
The New England Jazz Ensemble with Gates and Ryerson will appear on Saturday, Oct. 13, at the Colonial Theatre, with the Williams College Jazz Ensemble, under the direction of Andy Jaffe.
The new Berkshires Gateway Jazz Weekend in Lee took place Sept. 14-16. Produced by the Lee Community Development Corp., in collaboration with Berkshires Jazz. Headline performers included Grammy-nominated vocalist Karrin Allyson, the Amherst Jazz Orchestra, reed virtuoso Charles Neville, and the Sonny and Perley Quartet. .

Gary Smulyan, Noah Baerman concert Aug. 3, Pittsfield, MA
Gary Smulyan featured in Aug. 3, 2012 concert in Pittsfield, MA
As part of our year-round commitment to presenting jazz in the Berkshires, we have scheduled a double bill featuring DownBeat award-winning baritone saxophonist Gary Smulyan and pianist/composer/author Noah Baerman. The special program will take place at 8PM August 3 in the intimate setting of the backroom at Baba Louie's Sourdough Pizza, where we have instituted a jazz series to follow Pittsfield's monthly First Fridays Artswalks.

He is the baritone saxophonist with the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra, and played with its previous incarnation, the Mel Lewis Big Band. He also plays baritone saxophone with the Dave Holland Big Band and Octet, and the Dizzy Gillespie All Star Big Band.

A prolific composer, he has earned top honors from the Billboard Song Contest, the Unisong Contest, and ASCAP ("ASCAPlus Awards" every year since 2004). His long list of recordings is topped by a new solo album, Turtle Steps. He earned his bachelors and masters degrees in Jazz Studies from Rutgers University, where his mentor was Kenny Barron.

Review of Elli Fordyce, Jazz Tuber Trio concert
In reference to May 4, 2012 Elli Fordyce, Jazz Tuber Trio concert at Baba Louie's in Pittsfield, MA:
By Richard Houdek, Special to the Eagle – This city embraced its creators of painting, sculpture, photography, film and other visual expression Friday evening at its first ever Arts Walk, but it also acknowledged its reputation as a center of jazz performance.
Hundreds of curious viewers munched hors d'oeuvres while viewing artists' works on nearly every available wall, table and pedestal, in boutiques, restaurants and even a barber shop. Scores then convened in Baba Louie's Backroom where BerkshiresJazz.org offered a live double feature of music.
Elli Fordyce, enjoying her third career as a singer, was the headliner, joined by the Berkshires Jazz Trio — Andy Jaffe, keyboard, Richard Downs, bass, and Peter Coombs, drums — in a set that included reliable standards, often performed in fresh tempos and unlikely harmonies.
Fordyce, candid about being a mid-septuagenarian, displays still-fine vocal support and pitch, she scats easily and she and Jaffe's instrumental ensemble meshed remarkably, given that they met only a couple of hours prior to the downbeat, and had virtually no rehearsal.
Earlier, Eli Neuberger's Jazz Tuber Trio — Neuberger on tuba, Jimmy Mazzy, vocals and banjo, and Ted Casher on reeds — produced some persuasive Dixieland sounds.
Their repertory was filled similarly with standards, but their instrumentation, punctuated by Neuberger's tuba, bombastic as well as occasionally surprisingly sensuous, created fascinating textures. Mazzy's flexible high baritone is reminiscent of the favorite old jazz masters of song Fordyce and the two trios, all of whom contributed their services for the evening as a presumed benefit for BerkshiresJazz and the Arts Walk, returned to wind up the evening with a couple of numbers that also were unrehearsed. Casher noted that he had not played with Jaffe's group for more than 30 years before Friday's gathering. But such risks are what make the art of jazz exciting, both for the players, and certainly for their listeners.

It's that time of the year again: moving into new dorms and apartments, buying pens and notebooks, and double-checking schedules to make sure you get to the right class. While the start of every school year is exciting, it's also an incredibly exciting time to be Jewish on campus.
I graduated from the University of Kansas about a year ago, and although I loved every part of my experience there, it was the Jewish moments that truly stand out: creating lasting friendships at Hillel events, exploring my Judaism to new depths, working at URJ Kutz Camp during the summers, and the overall excitement and meaning of being a Jewish leader on campus.
For the past year, I've been working at the Union for Reform Judaism (URJ) as its presidential fellow for millennial engagement, which is a big, long way of saying that I get to work with college students and young professionals to find awesome ways of connecting with Jewish life. Throughout all of my travel to campuses in the last year, my favorite part has been meeting with students to hear about their experiences and connect them with fun and meaningful Jewish communities and events.
Though many students may be missing their hometown youth group, congregation, or summer camp as the school year begins, there are plenty of exciting ways for college students to explore Judaism and expand their connection to the Jewish community.
Find a place for High Holidays: Our "Find a Congregation" tool to scope out the closest Reform temple in your area and get your ticket for services.
Volunteer at or attend the 2017 URJ Biennial: In December, more than 5,000 Reform Jews will descend upon Boston for the URJ Biennial. Volunteer at the event as part of the incredible Biennial Ambassador cohort or attend as part of the College Track. Registration closes soon – sign-up now!
Tap into NFTY's Alumni Network: Looking for a friendly face on campus? If you're an alum of any URJ Youth program, check out the Connect on Campus Map to find other alums on your campus!
Go on a KESHER Birthright trip: Whether or not you've been to Israel, now's the time to make it happen! Create your account for a FREE 10-day trip to Israel – and bring your friends along too!
Join the Founders Fellows: Join a cohort of dedicated Reform students from all over North America as you create new and innovative ways of doing Jewish on campus. Applications close soon – apply now!
Like I said, it's a really exciting time to be Jewish in college. I hope this school year is one of meaningful learning, exploration, and growth – and I want to help. Please know that throughout this year, I am only an email away with any questions, concerns, or ideas about Jewish life on campus. As we say with all big moments in our lives, let us say Shehecheyanu and give thanks for allowing us to reach this exciting and fulfilling time in the year.

Singer-Songwriter & Rapper
Takudzwa Victoria Rosa Maidza was born in Harare, Zimbabwe. Her mother and father are metallurgists. In 2001, her family moved to Australia when she was five years old. They lived in Perth and Kalgoorlie in Western Australia and in Whyalla in South Australia before relocating to Adelaide in 2010. She graduated from St Michael's College at age 16 and studied architecture at the University of South Australia before becoming a full-time musician.
Maidza took part in Adelaide's Northern Sound System artist development program and released her debut single, "Brontosaurus", at age 17 with producer BadCop. She has since released an EP, Switch Tape, featuring collaborations with Night Slugs' Bok Bok and producer SBTRKT.[5] In January 2016, Maidza reached #66 in the 2015 Triple J Hottest 100 with her 2015 single "MOB". MOB was Maidza's first song to be played on Australian commercial radio.
Maidza has played Splendour in the Grass and the CMJ Music Marathon in 2014 and replaced Lykke Li at the 2015 St Jerome's Laneway Festival. She performed at the Triple J "Beat the Drum" concert in 2015 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the radio station, both as a solo artist and with many other Australian guest rappers on an extended version of Hilltop Hoods' "Cosby Sweater". Maidza played most of the Australian major festivals in 2015 including Grooving the Moo, Falls Festival, Meredith Festival and a cameo at Stereosonic with WhatSoNot.
Maidza was featured in Australian Vogue magazine in July 2015 and the French magazine Konbini. After featuring on Troye Sivan's debut album Blue Neighbourhood, Maidza supported Sivan in London, Paris and Berlin as well as a guest appearance in Los Angeles. Earlier Maidza had supported Charli XCX on her Australian tour as well as British band Years & Years in the UK.
In November 2015 Tkay featured in an episode of Le Petit Journal in her debut French TV appearance. A scheduled appearance at the French festival La Maroquinerie in November 2015 was cancelled. She later appeared on American radio as part of the second episode of Skrillex's OWSLA Radio on 13 February 2016.
On 30 August, Tkay premiered her single "Carry On", featuring guest vocals from US rapper Killer Mike. The track is the first single from her debut album simply titled Tkay, which was released on 28 October 2016.
In May 2020, Tkay announced she had signed with acclaimed British independent label 4AD[8] and released her new single 'Shook' with praise from NME[9] and Rolling Stone.[10]
In February 2021, Tkay released her new track 'Kim', six months on from the release of her Last Year Was Weird, Vol.2 EP working with US artist Yung Baby Tate.

EdPlace and the EALHub
Where to find extra EAL resources
Herosphere Home
EAL/ESL Resources
There are currently over 1.5 million learners with English as an Additional Language (EAL) in UK maintained schools and many more in independent schools. EAL learners represent just over 21% of the primary population and nearly 17% of the secondary population in England.
Technology has allowed us to create an all-inclusive experience for ESL and EAL learners. By adding our accessibility toolbar, it allows our students to change our thousands of interactive and curriculum aligned worksheets, into over 100 different languages. We are very proud that we are the first and only online learning platform to add these extra features. Supporting English acquisition for all and MFL Modern Foreign Languages lessons in and out of the classroom.
When searching online for complementary teaching resources in the past, I found a distinct lack of supportive learning worksheets for EAL students, despite the huge statistics above! So I was delighted to find Beth Southern at the EAL Hub with her wealth of helpful downloadable resources.
Over to you Beth!
The EALHub
I taught for 12 years, with a primary focus on EAL, across both primary and secondary, independent schools and state schools. I was Head of EAL at a large inner city 3-18 school for 4 years following which I set up Consultancy and training privately. I also worked for a local council as a Lead Teacher of EAL. During this time, I visited lots of schools and saw loads of interesting teaching but my overriding sense was that there was still a real lack of training and understanding of how best to support EAL students, particularly new arrivals. Many teachers asked me to recommend EAL teaching resources or websites that they could visit for teaching support and ideas, and I was often unable to offer very much in way of a suggestion. I decided at the start of last year that I would take a leap of faith and move full time into setting up EAL HUB. I had a huge desire to better support teachers globally, whilst also giving EAL pupils the best support to remain in lessons as much as possible and thrive at learning English. I created all of the resources on the site personally and built the whole website too which I have really enjoyed.
We receive feedback regularly from around the world and it is amazingly positive, people are just so grateful for the support and also the fact that we offer to build the resources that they need, if there is something missing then let us know and we will try and add it.
The short-term goals are to build the resources as much as possible whilst keeping them at a high standard. We are still developing new ideas and concepts, most recently we added the Topic Packs which support EAL and SEND learners with Topic work. The PIVOT Packs and Reading Hero Packs are proving really popular and we are getting regular book requests, as are the standalone resource sheets, videos and activities. We have just passed 100,000 resources downloaded so we are delighted that after just 11 months! We have also found that lots of schools are also using many of the resources for children that aren't EAL but that have specific literacy needs so we are looking at this side of things too, to ensure we are meeting that need.
I am currently working on developing CPD and training and my diary is already filling up. I have a passion for working with trainee teachers to ensure we are sending more teachers out into schools with a good knowledge of language acquisition and a range of strategies for working with EAL learners. I am keen to get out into schools to offer training within areas such as welcoming and providing for New Arrivals, how to boost reading and writing in Advanced Bilinguals, EAL Coordinator training, TA training and Effective Interventions. I am also excited to visit some international school overseas, which is planned for the next academic year.
The long-term goal is simple – to offer an amazingly versatile and holistic EAL support hub that is the go-to place for teachers in need of support, resources and training for students learning English and all children in need of a literacy and vocabulary boost. We are also marketing across the globe at the minute, with some exciting collaborations in the pipeline, so our long-term goal is basically to get EAL HUB in to as many schools as possible!

If a hot air balloon lands in your yard you have the best excuse ever for being late. Just make sure you take photos to prove that it happened.
This summer our goal has been to make every kid late to school/summer school at least one time. We call it hot air balloon black out bingo. Do you remember playing black out bingo as a kid? It's where you try to fill in all the boxes on a bingo card...first one to get them all yells bingo! Our game is a little different... our goal has been to meet every neighbor on the NW corner of 400th and 212th st in Enumclaw Washington by landing a hot air balloon in their yard. So far we are doing pretty well.
1. Our crew knocks on the door and asks if it would be ok for our hot air balloon to land on their property. Ninety-nine percent of land owners are happy to have a balloon land on their property, and quickly start Facebooking their photos to the world.
2. When we fly over homes, many people scream "hello." If the situation and timing is right, we will ask them if it would be ok for us to land on their property. Our favorite is when they ask us to land in the field or back yard and start making coffee!
3. If we haven't chatted with the land owner yet, we will set the balloon down on the property and wait until our crew can reach the owner. If for some reason they are not okay with the hot air balloon landing on their property, and the situation is safe, we will ascend again and choose another property.
The best thing about having a hot air balloon land on your property is we often attach the balloon to our truck safety line and give folks a tethered balloon ride up to 100ft. We may have made some kids last Friday late for school...they do have the best reason ever for being late. " Sorry, I'm late a hot air balloon landed in my yard this morning and offered us a ride."
Chief pilot of Seattle Ballooning. I get the opportunity to provide luxury hot air balloon rides just South of Seattle in front of Mt. Rainier. When you do what you love, it's not considered work.

Laughter and Ridicule
Towards a Social Critique of Humour
Michael Billig - Loughborough University, UK
Published in association with Theory, Culture & Society
October 2005 | 272 pages | SAGE Publications Ltd
`From Thomas Hobbes' fear of the power of laughter to the compulsory, packaged "fun" of the contemporary mass media, Billig takes the reader on a stimulating tour of the strange world of humour. Both a significant work of scholarship and a novel contribution to the understanding of the humourous, this is a seriously engaging book' - David Inglis, University of Aberdeen
This delightful book tackles the prevailing assumption that laughter and humour are inherently good. In developing a critique of humour the author proposes a social theory that places humour - in the form of ridicule - as central to social life. Billig argues that all cultures use ridicule as a disciplinary means to uphold norms of conduct and conventions of meaning.
Historically, theories of humour reflect wider visions of politics, morality and aesthetics. For example, Bergson argued that humour contains an element of cruelty while Freud suggested that we deceive ourselves about the true nature of our laughter. Billig discusses these and other theories, while using the topic of humour to throw light on the perennial social problems of regulation, control and emancipation.

'Laughter and Ridicule' is definitely an interesting and important addition to humor research in that it provides grounds for a more critical approach to the subject.
However, you may claim that Billig gets rather one-sided in his approach to humor. You can, of course, counter that claim by arguing that it can't be no different, regarding Billig's purpose. Still, it affects the historical examination of humor (which is a large part of the book) and for that reason I will use different sources for this part of my course. When it comes to presenting the students to more critical views on humor, I will, on the other hand, most definitely introduce them to Billig's theories.

Stroll set for Force India debut in Abu Dhabi test
Lance Stroll is set to get his first run with the Racing Point Force India in the post-season Abu Dhabi Formula 1 test.
The Canadian's 2019 move from Williams to Force India is yet to be officially confirmed, but his father's takeover of the Silverstone-based outfit has helped seal his switch.
While Force India is in no rush to make a formal announcement about Stroll's move until current driver Esteban Ocon's future has been resolved, the team says it is eager to get him in the car for the Yas Marina test that will evaluate 2019 rubber.
Team principal Otmar Szafnauer said: "I think Abu Dhabi it would be good to have the second driver in the car to get some mileage.
"The Abu Dhabi test is all about next year. Although it is with this year's car, it is with next year's tyres, so it is all about understanding next year's tyres."
Asked if there was any scope for the Stroll Abu Dhabi plan to be tripped up, he said: "I don't think so, but I don't think there is any reason to hurry it.
"It is just out of courtesy to Esteban until he knows what he is doing. It would be nice for Esteban to announce his own thing."
Pushed on confirming that Ocon would remain in the car until the end of the season, Szafnauer said: "Yes, for sure. There is no reason not to."

Henry II PLANTAGENET King of England [Parents] [scrapbook] 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 was born 7, 8, 9, 10 on 5 Mar 1133 in Le Mans, Anjou, France. He died 11, 12 on 6 Jul 1189 in Chinon Castle, Indre Et Loire, France. He was buried on 8 Jul 1189 in Fontevrault Abbey, Fontevrault, Maine-Et-Loire, France. Henry married Ida (Bigod) PLANTAGENET Countess of Norfolk 13, 14, 15.
AQUITAINE, Elbeonore Princess of
Henry II, King of England, was born at Le Mans, Normandy in 1133. As the son of Count Geoffrey Plantagenet of Anjou and Matilda, daughter of King Henry I, Henry became Duke of Normandy in 1150, and after his father's death in 1151, was named Count of Anjou.
In 1152 he married Eleanor of Aquitaine, thereby acquiring the Duchy of Aquitaine. When Henry became King of England, after Stephen's death in 1154, he reigned over one of the most extensive realms in western Europe.
Henry II's first objective as King was to regain the royal powers of his grandfather King Henry I. He did this by reclaiming royal lands and castles, by recovering northern English counties from the Scots, and by revamping the systems of finance, administration, and justice.
His early success, however, did not aid Henry in his attempts to re-establish the acceptance of the Church customs of his grandfather's time. Henry met with strong opposition from Thomas a Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, who resisted Henry's wishes for regal authority in punishing convicted clergy of crimes. Becket felt that this power should be reserved for the Church courts, not the throne. In turn, Henry exiled Becket, and in 1170, Becket was murdered by four of Henry's knights who hoped that the killing would please Henry. On the contrary, Becket's death left Henry with a feeling of great distress, and he prudently escaped to Ireland while matters settled down. In 1171, while on temporary leave, he was accepted as Lord of Ireland.
King Henry II reconciled with the Church in 1172, but other problems were on the horizon. In 1173 family matters boiled to the point of rebellion. After years of being constantly unfaithful to his wife, Eleanor, and of denying his sons the power their titles should have secured, Henry was plotted against by his family who allied themselves with King Louis VII of France, the Count of Flanders, King William of Scotland, and other dissatisfied nobles. Henry, being sufficiently warned and protected by loyal, capable officers, managed to defeat the rebels and to capture his wife in 1174.
During his later years, Henry II was successful in making constructive changes in England. His greatest achievements include drawing up laws and organizing the courts to administer them properly and professionalizing the entire administration in general to allow his country more justice than it had ever known.
Despite Henry's great accomplishments, the quarrels and jealousies of his sons persisted. In 1189 Henry was forced to make humiliating peace, and, broken by the attacks of his sons, he died two days later on July 6, 1189 at Chinon, France.
1150 - Named Duke of Normandy.
1151 - Named Count of Anjou.
1152 - Married Eleanor of Aquitaine.
1170 - Murder of Archbishop of Canterbury; Henry left for Ireland.
1171 - Became Lord of Ireland.
1172 - Reconciled with the Church.
1173 - Family rebeled against him.
1174 - Defeated the rebels.
1189 - Family humiliated Henry; he died.
King Henry II's reconstruction of the justice system in England led to great progress in his time. By using the Roman legal concept of a distinction between the possession of property and the absolute right to property, Henry made it possible for those who had been physically dispossessed of their land to get a fair trial in court, instead of having to duel for the land.

HENRY II CURTMANTLE (r. 1154-1189)
Henry II ruled over an empire which stretched from the Scottish border to the Pyrenees. One of the strongest, most energetic and imaginative rulers, Henry was the inheritor of three dynasties who had acquired Aquitaine by marriage; his charters listed them: 'King of the English, Duke of the Normans and Aquitanians and Count of the Angevins'. The King spent only 13 years of his reign in England; the other 21 years were spent on the continent in his territories in what is now France. Henry's rapid movements in carrying out his dynastic responsibilities astonished the French king, who noted 'now in England, now in Normandy, he must fly rather than travel by horse or ship'.
By 1158, Henry had restored to the Crown some of the lands and royal power lost by Stephen; Malcom IV of Scotland was compelled to return the northern counties. Locally chosen sheriffs were changed into royally appointed agents charged with enforcing the law and collecting taxes in the counties. Personally interested in government and law, Henry made use of juries and re-introduced the sending of justices (judges) on regular tours of the country to try cases for the Crown. His legal reforms have led him to be seen as the founder of English Common Law.
Henry's disagreements with the Archbishop of Canterbury (the king's former chief adviser), Thomas à Becket, over Church-State relations ended in Becket's murder in 1170 and a papal interdict on England. Family disputes over territorial ambitions almost wrecked the king's achievements. Henry died in France in 1189, at war with his son Richard, who had joined forces with King Philip of France to attack Normandy.
Ida (Bigod) PLANTAGENET Countess of Norfolk [Parents] 1, 2, 3 was born about 1164 in Norfolk, England, United Kingdom. Ida married Henry II PLANTAGENET King of England 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.
Was wife of Roger Bigod at the time she conceived William with King Henry II.
An Assessment of a Crux in Medieval English Genealogy
By Paul C. Reed, FASG
One of the most intriguing and elusive problems in medieval English genealogy is the identity of the mother of William Longespée, favored bastard of Henry II, who was made Earl of Salisbury. It was not until 1611, in Speed's History of Great Britain, that the claim that William Longespée was Henry's son by the fair Rosamond de Clifford was first published, and since proliferated. No medieval chronicle makes this claim.
The author of the article on Rosamond that appeared in the Dictionary of National Biography [DNB] was able to conclude that she could not have been mother of William Longespée, but documentary evidence of the correct identity of his mother did not surface until publication of the Bradenstoke Cartulary. In two miscellaneous charters granting unimportant lands to the priory, William refers to his mother as "Countess Ida." These gifts were not part of a foundation charter, but two obscure donations for which there would have been no apparent motive to forge or falsify.
In these two charters William Longespée, Earl of Salisbury, refers to his mother as Comitissa Ida, mater mea and Ida comitissa, mater mea. These entries occur in two different manuscripts and in different topographical sections and seem unlikely to be the result of scribal error. Slight confirmation can be found in the fact that one of William's daughters was christened Ida....
If we cannot determine who Countess Ida was, can we determine where she was when Henry had his way with her? If William was born in January or February 1170, he would have been conceived in the spring of 1169. Henry II left England from Southampton in March 1166 and remained on the continent in France until he returned on 3 March 1170 (landing at Portsmouth, but departing England again on 24 June)."8 Whoever "Countess Ida" was, it is clear that she must have been in France-not England-when William was conceived.
At this point, though a thorough examination has been made of English candidates, the identity of Countess Ida, mother of William Longespee, remains elusive Given the Toeni ties in Normandy, it is still possible that Ida of Hainault may have had a daughter named Ida who was in Normandy in 1169, but it must be emphasized that this is just a theory at this point."9 A careful examination of continental women named Ida would seem the next course in research.
Note: After this issue went to press, Raymond Phair posted evidence on GEN-MEDIEVAL--L/ soc.genealogy.medieval that William Longespée's mother was indeed the wife of Roger Bigod, Earl of Norfolk.

Subject: Countess Ida, Bigod, Longespee
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1"
After he was created an earl, William Longespee issued two charters for Bradenstoke priory, Wiltshire, in which countess Ida was described as his mother; as the editor observed, this offers a reason why he named one of his daughters Ida [1].
While there were several countesses named Ida in 12th c. France, the only one known occurring in England at this time was the wife of Roger Bigod, earl of Norfolk, leading to the guess that she was William's mother [2].
As it turns out there is evidence that Ida countess of Norfolk was William's mother. Among the prisoners captured at the battle of Bouvines, Flanders, in 1214 was Ralph Bigod, described as a brother of William (Longespee) earl of Salisbury [3].
Two Ralph Bigods have been found in the records, but the older one was already an adult by 1156-62 and thus unlikely to have fought in a battle over 50 years later [4]. The other Ralph was a younger son of Roger Bigod, earl of Norfolk, whom the editors identify as still living in 1219 [5, 6]. This later Ralph seems very likely to have been the half-brother of earl William.
The French compilers of the prisoners list would probably have had a greater interest in his connection to William earl of Salisbury, one of the commanders in the battle, than to his father who is not known to have participated [7].
It may turn out to be only coincidence, but another Bradenstoke charter of earl William, dated by London as 1198/1199, was witnessed by, among others, Hugh Bigod and William Bigod [1]. These happen to be the names of both earl Roger Bigod's half-brothers and two of his sons. Both of the half-brothers were living at this time; Hugh was the older one [8]. It is not clear if both sons would have been old enough to witness a charter of their half-brother, nor is it certain that earl Roger's son William was still alive. London did not attempt to identify the witnesses.

[2] G.B. Roberts, "The royal descents of 500 immigrants", 1993, pp.vi, 348-364, credits Douglas Richardson with the identification of countess Ida as the wife of earl Roger Bigod, although no proof was provided. The subject of earl William's mother has generated numerous postings. See the archives.

[6] The name Ralph seems to have made its first appearance in the Bigod family with Roger and Ida's son, perhaps introduced from Ida's family. No link has been found, so far, between the older Ralph Bigod and the comital family.

of Bouvines", transl. C. Tihanyi, 1990. Duby confused earl William Longespee with his father-in-law.
[8] Earl William Longespee witnessed many charters of king John; one of these was a confirmation of the marriage of William Bigod, earl Roger's half-brother [Pipe Roll Society 55:no.234 (1939)].

Duncan I Mac Crinan King of SCOTLAND [Parents] 1, 2, 3 was born 4 about 1001 in Atholl, Perthshire, Scotland, United Kingdom. He died 5, 6 on 14 Aug 1040 in Bothganowan, Elgin, Scotland, United Kingdom. He was buried in Isle of Iona, Argyllshire, Scotland, United Kingdom. Duncan married Aelflaed (Sybil) of NORTHUMBRIA 7, 8 about 1030.
Duncan I (1034-1040)
King of the Scots from 1034 to 1040.
Duncan was the grandson of King Malcolm II (ruled 1005-34), who irregularly made him ruler of Strathclyde when that region was absorbed into the Scottish kingdom (probably shortly before 1034). Malcolm violated the established system of succession whereby the kingship alternated between two branches of the royal family. Upon Malcolm's death, Duncan succeeded peacefully, but he soon faced the rivalry of Macbeth, Mormaor (subking) of Moray, who probably had a better claim to the throne. Duncan besieged Durham unsuccessfully in 1039 and in the following year was murdered by Macbeth. Duncan's elder son later killed Macbeth and ruled as King Malcolm III Canmore (1058-93).
Aelflaed (Sybil) of NORTHUMBRIA 1, 2. Aelflaed married Duncan I Mac Crinan King of SCOTLAND about 1030.

King of Scotland from 1058 to 1093, founder of the dynasty that consolidated royal power in the Scottish kingdom.
The son of King Duncan I (reigned 1034-40), Malcolm lived in exile in England during part of the reign of his father's murderer, Macbeth (reigned 1040-57). Malcolm killed Macbeth in battle in 1057 and then ascended the throne. After the conquest of England by William the Conqueror, in 1066, Malcolm gave refuge to the Anglo-Saxon prince Edgar the Aetheling and his sisters, one of whom, Margaret (later St. Margaret), became his second wife. Malcolm acknowledged the overlordship of William in 1072 but nevertheless soon violated his feudal obligations and made five raids into England. During the last of these invasions he was killed by the forces of King William II Rufus (reigned 1087-1100). Except for a brief interval after Malcolm's death, the Scottish throne remained in his family until the death of Queen Margaret, the Maid of Norway, in 1290. Of Malcolm's six sons by Margaret, three succeeded to the throne: Edgar (reigned 1097-1107), Alexander I (1107-24), and David I (1124-53

Their first child, Amanda Melvina, was born March 18,1838 at Far West, Caldwell County, Missouri. Their next child,Leonideas, was born March 31,1840 at Montrose, Iowa, where the family had moved to in the meantime. Leonidas died Aug. 28, 1841 when he was just a little over a year old. While still living at Montrose they had two more sons,, Willard Lycrugas, born March 8,1842 and Eugene, born March 10,1844. The latter died at Nauvoo June 13 1845. After moving with the family to Garden Grove, they had a daughter,Almira, born Sept. 10,1846 who died the same day she was born.

They were named Ellen and Helen. Two weeks later, Feb.22, Helen died. January 12,1849 Susan gave birth to a daughter, Susan, and the mother died soon after. After reaching Salt Lake, Uncle Willard married a third wife, Mary Bingham, a girl from St. Johnsbury.. She had only one child by Uncle Willard.The child was Mary and was born June 3,1850. June 3,1850 Aunt Melvina had a son, William, who died June 4,1855. Uncle Willard took a prominent part in the city and Territorial Governments after coming to Utah as has been stated before in this history. In addition to what has already been given, he was a member of the following standing committees in the state legislature: Judiciary, counties and on military and civil laws. He was one of the speakers at the first Fourth of July celebration held in Utah in 1851.	He was the first Justice of the Peace in Utah At General Conference in Salt Lake City Sept. 7,1851 he was called on a mission to Europe,. Soon after, he left his wives and four children and arrived in England Dec. 29, 1851. He worked in Scotland for about three months. In March 1852 Uncle Erastus arrived in England on his way home from Scandinavia where he had had charge of the mission there. March 15,1952 Uncle Willard was appointed president of that mission so succeed Uncle Erastus. April 21st. he took the steamer at Hull, England and arrived at Copenhagen, Denmark on the 26th. He set to work with a will to learn the Danish language in which he was very successful. He took charge of this mission working deligently, and faithfully, and successfully in the discharge of his duties. While addressing a council of Elders on the evening of August 15,1553 in Copenhagen, he was so violently attacked with illness that he was unable to proceed. Later he seemed a little better, and decided to go to England. On the l8th. he took passage on board the ship Transit, but while on board he was a again prostrated. He soon became unconscious and continued to sin k gradually until the evening of the 21st when he expired. Elders P.O.Hansen and H.P. Jenson were with him, but not-withstanding their ernest pleading, the captain insisted that the body be sunk in the sea. So he was wrapped in canvass and sunk about 80 miles north of Hull, England into the North Sea. He was just 41 years of age. After his death, his wife, Mary married Lorin Farr, a grandson of Willard's Aunt Lydia Snow Farr. Aunt Melvina cared for her own three children and the daughter of her sister Susan. She lived until she was 71 years old, and died October 24,1382 at Salt Lake City. Out of Uncle Willard's large family, only five lived to maturity; They were Susan, Mary, Ellen Melvina, and Willard Lycrugas . I was unable to l earn anything about the first three. Willard was a farmer at Draper, Utah and was prominent in church affairs. Helvina married Willard Bingham, a brother to her father's wife, Mary. She began teaching school when she was fifteen. As her husband had another wife, she had to work hard to help support her family. After her marriage, she continued her teaching. For pay, she took vegetables, flour etc. or whatever the parents were willing to give her. She would take her baby to school where the pupils tool. turns rocking it. She also spun, and wove cloth for clothing for her children. As she could afford only one suit of clothes for each child, she washed and ironed their clothing after putting them to bed. She did much church and public work besides.

Big Train Drop Close Contest to Express
Gany Cruz (Bryant) went 1-for-2 with one RBI.
Unable to capitalize on scoring opportunities, the Big Train dropped a close contest to the Express, 3-2.
"We didn't play nine innings," manager Sal Colangelo said. "We didn't play every pitch. We just came up short."
On a quiet offensive night for the normally dangerous Big Train lineup, catcher Gaby Cruz (Bryant) had the team's lone RBI, which came on a single in the third inning.
"Giving us the lead at the time was good," Cruz said about his knock. "It was unfortunate that we gave up the lead later in the game and couldn't just come all the way through, but it feels good to contribute."
The Big Train had their best chance to even the score in the eighth inning. Down 3-1, they had runners on second and third with nobody out. Though one run crossed the plate on a passed ball, the Big Train were unable to bring the tying run home.
"It's baseball," Colangelo said about the team's troubles with runners in scoring position. "I'm frustrated and I'm upset."
Hoping to keep many arms as fresh as possible heading into the brief All-Star break, the Big Train sent eight hurlers to the mound. Their formidable effort yielded only three runs on nine hits, to go along with eight strikeouts.
The Big Train look to head into the brief All-Star break on a positive note with a win on Sunday against the Gaithersburg Giants. Though Saturday's loss was disappointing, it gives the Big Train players and coaches the chance to regroup and focus on having a strong last few weeks of the season.
"It's been a long season," Cruz said. "Taking care of our bodies is big, being able to come out here and play every day. We just have to take it as any other day and have a strong final quarter of the season."
The first pitch at Criswell Automotive Field is at 7 pm.

Guys, be honest: Do you wish you were bigger? Almost certainly, the answer is yes.
"I think there isn't a guy in the world who hasn't wished his penis were an inch or two longer," says Michael O'Leary, MD, professor of urologic surgery at Harvard Medical School and a urologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.
However, after more than a century of generally dubious and sometimes lunatic penis enlargement attempts, there's still not much you can do. Sure, there are lots and lots of supposed options out there -- penis pills, creams, brutal stretching exercises, horrific-looking devices, and penis surgery. Almost none of it works. The few approaches that can work often have modest benefits and serious side effects. How serious? In some cases, erectile dysfunction-serious.
"Trust me, if I knew of a way to safely and effectively increase penis size, I'd be a billionaire," O'Leary tells WebMD. "But I don't. Nobody does."
Still, common sense doesn't stop size-obsessed guys from trying very sketchy treatments on a vital part of their anatomy -- and risking a lot in the process.
How Small Is a Small Penis?
Think you're smaller than average? You're probably not.
The typical erect penis is usually 5 to 6 inches long with a circumference of 4 to 5 inches. There's more variation in the size of flaccid penises.
Some guys are genuinely smaller than that. In rare cases, genetics and hormone problems cause a condition called micropenis -- an erect penis of under 3 inches. Sometimes Peyronie's disease or prostate cancer surgery can reduce a guy's size.
But studies show that most of the guys seeking penis enlargement are average-sized. They just think they're below average.
Why? Part of it is perspective. It's very hard to gauge the size of your own penis -- looking down, you've got a bad angle.
Psychology plays a role, too. Some average-sized guys become obsessed with the idea that they're too small. There's even a psychiatric diagnosis: penile dysmorphic disorder. It's similar to the perceptual distortion of anorexics who think they're fat no matter how thin they get.
According to one study, the majority of men who get penis enlargement surgery have this condition. They're also the least satisfied with the results.
What Works: Weight Loss
There is one safe and effective method for getting a larger-looking penis: weight loss.
"A lot of men who think that they have a small penis are overweight," says Jennifer Berman, MD, a urologist in Beverly Hills and co-author of Secrets of the Sexually Satisfied Woman.
Losing weight will reveal more of that hidden shaft that's buried beneath belly fat. It doesn't actually increase your size, but it will look that way.
For guys who would rather have a surgical procedure than eat less, liposuction of the fat pad around the penis can work. Still, the effects aren't permanent -- if you don't change your eating habits, your penis will once again sink into your belly, like a pier at high tide.
Penis Enlargement: Pills, Creams, and Devices
What else is there? Here's a rundown of some unsavory options.
The vacuum pump. This is a cylinder that sucks out air. You stick your penis in and the resulting vacuum draws extra blood into it, making it erect and a little bigger. You then clamp off the penis with a tight ring -- like a tourniquet -- to keep the blood from leaking back into your body. What are the drawbacks? The effect only lasts as long as you have the ring on. Using it for more than 20 to 30 minutes can cause tissue damage.
Stretching with weights. Weights or stretching exercises won't bulk up your penis -- it's not a muscle. But hanging weights off your flaccid penis may stretch it a bit, O'Leary says. The catch is that it requires a freakish degree of dedication. "You might have to wear a weight strapped to your penis eight hours a day for six months," says O'Leary. At the end of it, you could be lucky enough to gain about half an inch. Risks include tearing of the tissue, burst blood vessels, and other problems.
Pills, supplements, ointments, and creams. They don't work. None of them. "I think it's safe to say that all of that stuff is complete nonsense," Berman says.
What about surgery? It can work, but there are a lot of cautions. There are two basic penis enlargement surgeries.
Lengthening the penis. The most common procedure is to cut the ligament that connects the penis to the pelvic bone. This allows a little more of the shaft -- on average less than an inch -- to become visible outside the body. It's not really lengthening the penis so much as revealing more of what's usually hidden. To prevent the ligament from reattaching, a guy would need weights or stretching devices daily for about six months.
Widening the penis. For men who think their penis is too thin, more controversial procedures can thicken it using implanted fat, silicone, or tissue grafts.
One newer -- and low-risk -- procedure can work for certain men. In some cases, the scrotum attaches high up on the shaft of the penis. Partially disconnecting the scrotum can reveal more of the shaft, making the penis look longer. The surgery takes 20 minutes and can be done on an outpatient basis, O'Leary says.
Penis Enlargement Surgery Risks
Before you take out a penile improvement loan and unbuckle your pants, consider the risks of lengthening or widening surgery.
There are no well-studied approaches. No major medical organization approves of these surgeries. Some guys opt to travel to other countries for treatments that aren't approved in the U.S. If that thought has crossed your mind, slow down -- it's time to have a frank talk with your doctor about the risks you'd be taking.
The side effects of lengthening surgeries are numerous and include infections, nerve damage, reduced sensitivity, and difficulty getting an erection. Perhaps most disturbing, scarring can leave you with a penis that's shorter than what you started with. Widening the penis is even more controversial. Side effects can be unsightly -- a lumpy, bumpy, uneven penis.
The few studies that have been done aren't encouraging. The European Urology study looked at 42 men who had procedures to lengthen their penises by cutting the suspensory ligament and found that only 35% were satisfied with the results. Half went on to get more surgery.
Reconsidering Penis Enlargement
Wishing you were a little bigger is common. If it's becoming a fixation, stop and think before you do something rash.
Talking to a doctor or a therapist can help. Research has found that when a doctor honestly reassures a guy that his penis is average-sized, he is likely to stop searching for surgery.
You also need to be on guard against phony claims for miracle penis enlargement.
"The main target for penis enlargement advertising is insecure guys who think all their power lies in their penises," says Berman. "These guys are easy victims."
Ian Kerner, a sex counselor in New York, says that the imagined glories of a gargantuan penis are not all they're cracked up to be.
"When it comes to penis size, being average is really where you want to be," says Kerner, the author of books including She Comes First. "Having a penis that's too big can be a much larger problem -- pun unintended -- than one that's too small." For guys who are too big for their partners, oral or vaginal sex can be difficult.
"Size really doesn't matter nearly as much as being a good and creative lover," Kerner tells WebMD. "How you use your brains, your hands, your mouth, and everything else -- that's what counts in the bedroom."
So consider: A quest for a bigger penis could leave you with a lumpy, bruised, discolored, thickened, painful, dysfunctional member. (Not to mention a drained bank account.) Does risking the inches you have for the hope of an extra half inch make sense?

This week I've decided to give you an inside look at a week of 22 Minutes. I break down the week and how we put a show together. You may be surprised at how many people and the level of effort that goes into making a TV show each week. It takes a village to raise a show.


One day this week, I went to the basement to take care of the cat boxes. I had an empty plastic bag in my hand; it was rustling and I was doing my normal "sing my way through the house" thing. It was pretty obvious that I was coming, so I am not sure why I surprised W when I entered the basement hangout. But I did.
"Oh, hey there," he said, a tone of I'm not doing anything I shouldn't be in his voice. He had quickly put his hands in his lap, removing them from the counter where he was working, and I sensed he was trying to hide something.
I glanced at the computer screen. It appeared that the computer was off, but since I had been singing, I decided to ask, "Are you talking to someone?" He often comes to the basement to FaceTime with his father or his cousin.
"Nothing," he replied, still watching me with an overly guilty look on his face. He did not resume whatever activity he was involved in before my arrival to the room. I studied him for a long moment, but I couldn't figure out what he was up to, so I went about my business scooping the litter box. But then, something bright yellow caught my eye. His nerf gun sat on the counter in front of him, in the beginning stages of dissection. With all of the projects, pieces of projects, and electronic components on the counter, I almost missed it.
"Oh," he said, looking down like this was the first he'd heard of it. "Yeah…. I'm trying to automate my nerf gun. And make it faster." He grinned.
Yes, I do know. If you are a boy who likes to figure out how things work, if something can be taken apart, if there is even the possibility that it can be modified (and improved)… well, why not?
"I think I'm going to have a few peanut butter eggs," C announced as he finished his dinner and pushed his chair away from the table. I had picked up a bag of chocolate covered peanut butter eggs from the clearance bin on a quick trip through the grocery store in the days after Easter. It was a temptation my sugar-addict couldn't resist.
He raised one eyebrow, a talent he learned at a young age from his grandmother. "M-a-y-be…" he drew out the word, so as to throw in some uncertainty. It wasn't working because… well, I had seen the wrappers in the trash.
"I think you've had enough," I told him. I used to say, I think you've had enough sugar for one day, but that was when he was waist high and zipped around the house like a bouncy ball if he even so much as smelled sugar.
He feigned a look of shock. "Enough? There is never enough." He shook his head as he made his way to the pantry cabinet. He reached in and took an egg. He held it up to his cheek, and he raised his eyebrows – Please?
And then his face shifted as it took on a hint of mischief. His expression mimicked one I'd first seen when he was a mere toddler. That day, I had given him some food in a glass bowl with the statement, "Be careful. This is a big boy bowl." He had watched my face, calculating my response, as he pushed the bowl off his high chair tray onto the ceramic tile. This time, the consequence was minimal as he playfully ripped open the wrapper of the peanut butter egg. A satisfied look overtook his face as if to say, Now what are you going to do? I laughed.
In the end, he ate the candy egg. But just one. Our "argument" was all in fun, and was well worth it to see that mischievous expression again—the one that so easily transported me right back to his (much) younger days when he was still a toddler in the high chair.
The idea of a snack in my house has been evolving lately. It used to be that the kids would ask for a snack, and they wanted some crackers. I would put some crackers in one of our little plastic bowls with a handle, and they would sit quietly in front of their latest art project or a favorite tv program and eat the crackers. As the kids grew, they began to add a little protein to their snacks—yogurt, string cheese, peanut butter. For the most part, my children have been pretty good about eating healthy snacks.
Fast forward to the teen years. Well… to today. I had just arrived home from work and was preparing to make dinner. Mondays involve lots of evening activities, so dinner is quick. I opened the fridge and started to pull out the leftovers to go with the pasta that was happily boiling away in a pot on the stove. I found a great variety of leftovers: a bowl of baked ziti, some deviled eggs, a chunk of meatloaf. I studied the meatloaf as I removed it from the fridge. Huh… I would have sworn the piece was (quite a bit) bigger, but I have moments in which my memory is not what it used to be. But then a thought crossed my mind.
"C, did you have some meatloaf after school?" I questioned. Total stab in the dark here.
He looked up from his iPad, staring at me blankly for a long moment. "I might have." He turned back to his iPad, no further explanation. Really, none needed.
Yep. Meatloaf has now become an acceptable snack. Along with spaghetti and meatballs, chicken parmesan, a ham and cheese sandwich (with some pepperoni thrown on for good measure), half a dozen eggs—you get the picture.
I'm going to need a third job….
The other day, my cats were bad. VERY bad. In the midst of a scuttle, they tipped over a kitchen chair, the chair fell into my oven, and the exterior glass of the door shattered. Glass skittered from one end of my tiny kitchen to the other, littering the entire floor. It was a mess. And it was not funny. At all.
I was in the kitchen when it happened. Had I been just a foot or two closer, I could have intercepted the chair. Instead, I watched the shattered glass cascade to the floor in disbelief. It was Friday, and I would clearly be living with an oven missing its front for a few days, at the very least. After calling to order a replacement part, I posted a picture on Facebook because really, who would think cats could do such a thing?
It wasn't long before the four-year-old neighbor girl came to my door, sent by her parents, who were in the yard nearby. "I came to see if you're okay," she said in her little voice, a shy smile on her face.
"I am," I assured her. "Do you wanna come in and see what my cats did?" She nodded. "I have to pick you up because there's glass all over my floor." I opened the door and lifted her into my arms. I gingerly tiptoed through the broken glass so she could see over the kitchen table.
Her eyes grew large as she stared at the mess, contemplating how cats could do such a horrible thing. Finally, she turned to me and studied my face. "Why are you not crying?" she asked, unable to contain her child curiosity.
Hmm. To tell you the truth, crying had occurred to me only as a briefly passing emotion. Until she suggested it. And once she had suggested it, I found it to be quite a valid suggestion. Perhaps as adults, we don't allow ourselves to cry nearly as much as we should. After all, if I had cried in this situation, she certainly wouldn't have questioned it. So crying was now a thought that was floating around in my head.
But there was another thought that was more urgent, tugging on a tiny corner of my brain, threatening to tear a hole unless I faced it, head on. My cats had made a huge mess of my kitchen and caused destruction that I would not have believed possible had I not been standing three feet away when it happened. I was home only because it was a holiday on my work calendar. My children were still at school.
Had I not been home that day, I would have walked in to this mess. (No one would have cleaned it up, but that's a story for another day). I would have seen the glass scattered from wall to wall. I would have noticed the gaping hole on the front of my oven. And I would have blamed the boys.
When you have two nearly grown boys who feel the need to constantly slam each other around, why would you believe such destruction was the result of a tussle between two ten pound cats? The boys would have argued with me, explained that they had found this mess, that something must have happened while they were at school. I would not have given them the benefit of the doubt. After all, who would believe such a thing?
And so I have this newfound awareness that perhaps I am too quick to judge. I am too quick to point fingers. I am not open-minded enough to listen to slightly far-fetched stories. Perhaps every situation demands that I listen, that I understand, and that I give others the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps there are circumstances that I might not be willing to consider before jumping to conclusions.
So the question remains: why am I not crying? I'm not sure, but now that I have processed all that came of this incident, maybe I will. And I will definitely leave that option open for the next time….
At the end of last week, Susan, at The Best Things in Life nominated me for a Liebster Award. I was thrilled, but before I accepted, I felt like I should achieve some crazy blogging milestone. So maybe I did not achieve a "crazy milestone," but I posted my 50th post!
In the blogging world, 50 posts is not much—a drop in the perpetual post-bucket. However, for me, it feels pretty big. I put off blogging for a very long time because I was afraid that I would not be able to keep it up. I was afraid my hectic life would get in the way, and my blog would fall by the wayside with only 10 or 15 posts. While my posting has slowed down a bit since my spring teaching picked up at the beginning of February, I have still kept at it. I will get back to posting more regularly.
I took a look at the "Official Rules" for the Liebster Award —which seem to be ever changing and marginally "un"official. (The Liebster Award: The Official Rules). In looking at the rules, I realized that I had a little flexibility. And to me, flexibility means room to color outside the lines, something my creative self adores! But I will try to stay within the bounds of the rules as much as possible.
First of all, many thanks to Susan at The Best Things in Life for finding my blog in this jungle we call the Internet, and then nominating me for this award. Sometimes, finding the good stuff feels like magic, but other times, it seems like pure, dumb luck. As a blogger, I have to get better at the magic aspect of it.
What state or country do you live in? The U.S.—New Hampshire.
What is the best thing about where you live? Eventually, it stops snowing and spring arrives.
What is your passion? Helping writers to develop their craft. Raising caring, happy children.
How do you relax? Relax? Am I allowed to do that?
Vanilla or chocolate? Um… is coffee an option?
Favorite vacation spot? We have the most wonderful camp that we go to. It's not really a "vacation spot" per se, but my children and I—and now some of our extended family and wonderful friends—have created some amazing memories there. Because it was the first "vacation spot" I was able to take my children to, it has become a very special place to us.
Favorite band? Too many to mention—lots of bands and lots of solo artists.
Why do you blog? I blog because I find it relaxing. I think that even though I am a little crazy creative and unique, there is much of who I am (to my kids, friends, students, co-workers, pets, etc.) that is part of the universal experience of humanity.
What was the last book you read? I read a lot of YA literature. I just finished Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children for a class I'm teaching.
Weirdest thing you have ever eaten? Lamb's brain. Served on the half-skull.
